Christmas

Another Christmas. Lots of presents for everyone. Again the kids were up early waiting for their grandparents to arrive at 7am. After a few hours of mayhem, everyone was tired and the place looked like a tornado hit.

We got our tree decorated today. We have to take pictures of especially who hangs the star each year so we can make sure that each child gets the correct turn.

Margaret was in the Los Gatos Christmas parade with her Brownie troop again this year. The goal was to get the Triumph ready for the parade, but we didn’t quite make it. It will be ready for the family for next year.

Trapeze

Trapeze

We finally had Katy’s birthday party today. Ok, we are a bit late. We took the girls to Trapeze Arts where they all managed to do at least one catch from one trapeze to the other. Fun was had by all.

A-6 Intruder

I went to DC for a few days to visit my buddy Karl and to go to my Uncle John Ed’s 70th birthday party. While I was there I went to the Air & Space Annex at Dulles and a quick walk around The Mall.

We had Katy’s family birthday celebration. Not too exciting. Elizabeth made a chocolate cake and everyone enjoyed it. One more year until we have a TEENAGER.
